[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's behind your desire to convert to Catholicism? Given your emotional state, that sounds like a terrible idea.[/quote]

We want to send him to a Catschool. My husband is Catholic although not confirmed. I wanted to join a community of faith in searching for more meaning in life. Although i've found some meaning in spirituality, the weekly classes have become a chore. They end around 8:30 and I need to get home quickly and get up for work the next morning at 5AM for work, all to be woken up at 1 or 3AM by my kid wanting to come in my bed.[/quote]

You don’t have to be catholic to send your kid to catholic school. When schools were closed it helped get in but no one is exactly beating down the doors to be admitted. They’ll get in. [/quote]

YMMV but my kids' Catholic PreK-8 filled up pretty much immediately after they opened the online application last year. We were lucky to get DD in, and we submitted the forms right away. They had a waitlist for all grades.

It is not a requirement to be Catholic to send your kids there, but at our school at least, being an active parishioner does give you a boost with admission and will get you a tuition discount. There's a form the pastor has to fill out attesting that our family is active in the parish and it has to be resubmitted every year. Again YMMV, different schools do things differently.

As for you OP, hugs and good luck. This stage is hard - I have been there too at my wit's end with my young kids. It will pass and it does get better. Others have offered good practical advice for easing your mental load and taking time for yourself. [/quote]
